Located in the heart of Carouge, the Musée de Carouge is primarily dedicated to preserving the town’s heritage and organizing temporary exhibitions related to local life. These exhibitions often delve into the history of Carouge and its residents. The museum actively participates in local events, such as the Printemps Carougeois and the Parcours Céramique Carougeois, and offers public guided tours and children’s workshops for each exhibition.
Class photos are a true social ritual and remain one of the few printed images that today’s children still get to keep and reflect on. Alongside early writing works and creative activities, the class photo becomes a valuable record of a school journey. Often signed by classmates on the back, it is a cherished memento for some, though disliked by others.
This exhibition explores the evolution of class photos in Carouge, from the early 20th century to its end, highlighting significant changes—shifting from stiff poses to more relaxed, humorous, and playful expressions.
Guided tours, lectures and workshops will be part of this exhibition.
This embroidery workshop offers you the chance to breathe new life into your old black-and-white photos by adding color and texture. Bring your own photos or use those provided by the facilitator to transform them using thread and needles.
